In most cases when you think about BB guns the first that comes to mind is the infamous Red Ryder rifle made by Daisy from the movie "A Christmas Story" in which all that Ralphie dreams of for Christmas is one of these rifles. In fact many of us may have even owned one of these rifles when we were younger. Today there are CO2 BB guns that look and feel just like the real thing complete with recoil and blowback.
These CO2 BB guns feature laser targeting systems, scopes, and a host of tactical accessories that make them a lot more fun to use. Many of them are designed to replicate well known guns such as the Walther PPK or an M16 or AK47. There are sniper rifles and hunting rifles, the choices are almost endless allowing you to choose a weapon that either suits your personal tastes or your needs such as airsoft games.
Airsoft weapons are one style of CO2 BB guns, however instead of firing metal BBs these guns are designed to fire the larger plastic BBs that are used by people who like to play a variety of war games.
The BBs are big enough to be seen and felt without causing any real harm as long as the player are not standing right next to each other. This sport is becoming very popular among those who might otherwise have chosen paintball, but did not want to deal with the mess. CO2 BB guns have a distinct advantage over the older style weapons that had to be cocked before every shot, because the weapon is powered by a CO2 cartridge you will be able to fire as many as 50 shots per cartridge depending on the type of weapon you are using. There are even fully automatic rifles available that use the larger CO2 cartridges and a hopper or cartridge that can hold several hundred rounds at a time.
There are many CO2 BB guns on the market, among the more popular are the handguns that are used for target shooting in competition. CO2 power is chosen as the power for these handguns as it allows them to be semi-automatic which is much more desirable in a competition shoot than having to stop and cock the pistol every time a shot is fired. This can cause the shooter to break his concentration and fire more inaccurately.
